This is very annoying:

   ...
   torture tests for RCU (RCU_TORTURE_TEST) [N/m/y/?] n
   How much to slow down RCU grace-period initialization
(RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY) [3] (NEW)
   ...

makes them relevant! So a simple

       depends on RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT

would seem to be called for.

It's not like we don't already have annoying and unanswerable
questions for RCU (RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO), let's not add the completely
stupid *pointless* ones too.
